MIDSUMMER MADNESS.

Are the King and his advisers madP
Is the preliminary sign Of destruction
already manifest in this cases 1t would
certainly seem so. The action Of the
Government in opening packages by the
Australia in search of arms and am
munition, and the seizure Of two lots OF
such goods, is one Of those pieces OF
utter and unaduterated stupidity, in
the performance Of which Hawaiian
officials have attained an undisputed
pre-emlnence. 1t is the act Of men
who show clearly thereby, that they
have the disposition to be arbitrary and
despotic, without the brain to conceive
or the nerve to execute the measures
necessary to make them such. Many
a would-be aspirant for irresponsible
power, and with much larger brains
than any one in the Hawaiian Govern
ment, has come to grief by the prac.
tice OF policy analogous to that ex
hibited IN Honolulu on Wednesday
1t is a policy which irritates without
intimidating, which exhibits venom and
cowardice, or malice and impotence,
in about equal proportions. Il reminds
one Of vicious and ill-conditioned
cur, whose disposition to bite has sur

man chooses to amuse himself by buy
ing specimens OF the various kinds OF
improved guns and pistols now in Tho
market, and converting his house into
kind Of military museum, that is hi
affair. 1t may be wise, or it may b.

it may be set down as certain, that thu
right Of the people to keep and bea

be given up. 1t will be maintained a

A recent Bulletin told how Gov
eminent tooter declared that "Nobody
cares for your newspaper talk" 1t is
perhaps to show this alleged indiffer
ence that the palace is converted into
a fortress, and munitions of war accu
mulated in large quantities. 1t is pos
sibly because of this indifference that
the establishment is guarded and pa
trolled inside and out every night by
soldiers and police; and it is probably
further evidence of this high and
mighty contempt for talk that rifles
have been served out to the police and
an officer detailed to drill the members
of the force in the use thereof "No-
body cares for newspaper talk" All

1t has been suggested that 1t is not
in good taste for persons who are not
Hawaiian citizens to take an active
part in Hawaiian politics, The servile
Legislature having fixed the law so that
the majority of such persons are ineli-
gible for naturalization, they naturally
and properly feel that they are thereby
absolyed from any obligation to abstain
from movements having in view their
own interests, as we'll as the good OF
the whole people.

The cO-as-You-Please.

The three nights go-as.you-please
foot race was started in the tent at 7;r5
last evening, Joe Camara and Harry
Smith being the only contestants.
There was small audience present,
but an extremely interesting exhibition
took place When Mr.. Higgins
dropped the flag sharp at rI;Is, Cana
ra had made IS miles, 40 laps; Smith,
IS miles, 10 laps. The track is 81
laps to the mile, so that Camara made
nearly 90 miles. When there was two
minutes to go, the lads broke into Q
lively trot, keeping it up to the end
and neither showed any sign Of ex
haustion. Tonight the race will b.
resumed at 7 o'clock. Music is fur
nished by the Portuguese band.

THE SUCCESSION IN GERMANY.

The reports relating to the Crown Princes
health arc causing widespread alarm in Ger
many Our regular London core pondent in
his cable dispatch to-day discusses the medical
aspects OF the case and shows how serious are
the grounds for apprehension. The surgical
operations which have been contemplated by
the German specialists greatly alarmed Prince
Bismarck, and he secured the services Of q
famous English surgeon; but it is evident
that the medical authorities after prolonged
consultation have not been able to rcassurc
the Chancellor and tho royal family. The
disease is apparently cancer, and while its
progress may lie retarded by scientific surgery.
the Princes chances of ultimate recovery are
very poor. Ho is in his fiftyeixth year, and
cannot DO reas onably expected to resist 30 in
sidious and fatal malady.
Tho illness of the Crown Prince will create
much uncasiness in the Fatherland. The sue
cession will not be left in any uncertainty
since the aged Emperor, now in his ninety
first year, has numerous grandsons and great
grandfons, there being at present four gencr-
ations Of the Hohenzollerns. The German
people. however prefer to be ruled by middle
aged or even very old soveregns, and they
will not welcome the prospect Of having a
young army officer on the throne. The pres
ent King Of Prussia was sixty-four when he
was crowned. His advanced years gave as
surance of soberness of judgment He showed
rare discernment in the selection Of his chief
advisers, and having placed Bismarck in powes'
and put Moltile at the head of the army, opened
the way for the establishment OF the German
Empire The Crown Prince having married
an English Princess, waa disposed for while
to question the wisdom Of the Chancellor's
constitutional system. He was rputed for
many years to be in favor of reforms that
would bring tho Reichstag into closer CORE
spondcnce with tho English Parliament; and
conflict between tho future Emperor and the
Iron Chancellor seemed imminent AS time
went on however, he modified his views, and
recently no has been Hohcnzolern Of his
fathers likeness. with resolute convictions in
favor Of the maintenance Of the present con-
stitutona system. AS bravo soldier and
brilliant general he has always been descrvcdly
popular in Germany; and advancing years
have brought with them maturity OF judg
ment and a gradual growth OF conservative
feeling. The crown would be in safe hands
if no were to succeed his father. His charac-
ter, mental traits and genuine popularity with
all classes would give adequate assurances Of
useful and peaceful reign.
The Crown Princes eldest son is favorably
regarded in Berlin al Hohenzollern Of great
promise. He is now in his twenty ninth year.

be a prince of most agreeable manners and

Prussan Crown and the Empire is secured.

THE COMMISSIONS UKASE.

Rules governing the proceedings before the
Interstate Commission read like the ukase Of
the Car Of all tho Russias. There is about
them O tone of absoutism not often found in
acts Of officials in ire country But the
rules seem in the main reasonable, and 1t will
probably be the disposition of the companies
to comply with them as far as possible and Of
the courts to hold compliance with them a
duty, unless good reason for non compliance
be given.
The Commission requires that any petition
for relief from the fourth or short haul sec
ton shall be preceded by ten days adver-
tsement of intention TO ask such relief. so
that parties who want to contest it may have
opportunity. There arc cases in which this
delay will work hardship, and in which the
discretionary power of the Commission, if ex-
crcised at ALL ought TO be exercised as soon
as the need arises But in ordering that all
petitions "must' be accompanied with proof
that tho advertisement has been published.
the Commission virtually gives notice THAI it
will moi use its discretionary power in other
cases. Refusal is always within lis power
| under the law, and On the other hand it is
always within the power of any railroad com
pany TO determine for itself what the law re-
quires il to do and 10 appeal to the courts.
As has been said from the first, this is o
splendid act for lawyers. The Commission
even enlargcs the fecundity of the act for the
legal fraternity by providing for trials by coun-
| sci as 10 the requirements of law and as to
the facts of the case before the Commission,
the companies interested necessarily retaining
power to appeal to the courts aftcrward. All
| this means business for the bar.
Whether it means cheaper transportation
tho people have yet TO learn Mr.. Morrison
makes tho shrcwd suggestion that he has not
been ablo to extract from Mr. Reagan or any
other friend Of the measure an answer TO the
simple question what would constitute an
exceptional case, calling for the Commission s
| interpostion under tho act. AS all know
who watched the history of the bill, the House
really wanted a cast-irOn law without exccp-
ton. But it had to accept and did accept the
bill as it passed the Senate, containing express
provisions for exceptional cases, and O neces-
sary consequence is that the lawmakers must
be held by tho courts to have contemplated a
class OF cases In which the cast iron rule
should not be enforced. II Mr.. Reagan is
not willing to find such cases and if the Com
mission cannot agree about them, the courts
arc still open and the lawyers are still ready
10 accept fees.
Congressman Barry Of Mississippi, thinks
tho railroads have been trying 10 make the
law odious, but that the people begin 10 under.
stand its merits and viii insist upon it's rigid
enforcement There is short way to settle
that question. II the Commission will repeal all
orders excepting Southern as well as other roads
from the operation of the law and let the poo
pie Of Mr. Barry's own district find out by cx.
